Yes it is Fred

Arizona is a "Go" for purchase Fred.

It is legal everywhere except CA, NY, MA, or OH Petty much everything is legal in Arizona

Its legal there (technically a pistol) if you changed the grip you will need a stamp though. But as it is, it is not considered a shotgun.

Chase, it is classified as fully-compliant by Federal BATFE, this model requires no Tax Stamp for transfers, where permitted. However, Bud's will not ship to CA, NY, MA, or OH.

Yes its legal in Washington state

Yes, the Mossberg Shockwave is legal in Hawaii. ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, NY, MA, or OH***

Yes as of Sept 1st. Thanks to efforts by members of the Texas House of Representatives and Texas Senate, House Bill (HB) 1819 passed in May 2017, the Mossberg 590 Shockwave will be legal in the state of Texas, beginning September 1, 2017. The legislation was advanced through the combined efforts of Senators Charles Perry and Craig Estes, Representatives Poncho Nevarez and Drew Springer, the National Rifle Association (NRA®) and Texas State Rifle Association (TSRA®) and clarified Texas state laws concerning the purchase of suppressors and certain firearms, including the 590 Shockwave pump-action. The change in the law hits close to home for Mossberg as the company proudly manufactures the 590 Shockwave at their facility in Eagle Pass, Texas, which is also the home district for Representative Nevarez.

Yes it is legal in Texas but I would check with my local FFL holder to make sure of any local laws that may affect it

Hi Jose, Yes it is legal in TX ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, NY, MA, or OH***

This has been deemed legal in NJ by the BATF : An email was recently sent out to FFLs in New Jersey with a message from “THE NJSP FIREARMS INVESTIGATION UNIT.” It stated “…Mossberg Model 590 Shockwave, Black Aces Tactical DT and the Remington TAC-14. The New Jersey State Police Firearms Investigation Unit concurs with the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (BATF) that these pistol grip only designed firearms are legal for sale in the State of New Jersey as a firearm.”

I definitely agree with you on this. In NJ, there were a lot of FFL's that were unsure and would not transfer. They have been given explicit instructions they can transfer these type firearms now.

here in nc the state restricts (most) local (anti) firearm laws but I am not sure about other states

Hi David, Yes the Mossberg 590 is legal in Louisiana. Nice shotgun!

Yes appears to be good in Louisiana but I would check with my local FFL holder to make sure of any local laws that may affect it

Yes, this shotgun is legal in Louisiana. ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, NY, MA, or OH***

Yes it is ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, NY, MA, or OH***

No, not under Ohio State law. Information here : According to the GCA, if the overall length of that firearm, with the pistol grip and barrel installed, is greater than 26", then the barrel can legally be shorter than 18". In the case of the 14" barrel Mossberg 590 Shockwave, the Raptor bird's head grip gives the gun an overall length of 26.32". That makes it a firearm. Although the BATF recognizes it as a "legal" shotgun; under the Ohio Revised Code, it does not meet the requirements. NOTE: Although the federal government says it's a gun that can be purchased by qualified buyers over the age of 21, some states, like Ohio, have regulations in place banning it and other guns like it.

Hi Judi Dejavu lol. Sorry but this isn't legal in Ohio. :(

Yes appears to be good in Kentucky but I would check with my local FFL holder to make sure of any local laws that may affect it

Hi Jim, Thanks for your question. Yes it is legal in KY

Yes, there are no laws that would preclude ownership in Kentucky (currently).

yes

There are no Nebraska state laws that would preclude you from owning this firearm Ross.

It should be but I would check with the local FFL holder who would do your transfer if its Illegal (state local laws) it could be bad for him so he should know the law

It should be William. Wisconsin's statute on SBS,while the definitions would seem to make possession of the shockwave illegal without a federal tax stamp, it also says it does "not apply to any firearm that may be lawfully possessed under federal law". Since this Federal/State thing is so fuzzy I would confirm this with Mossberg's Customer service: 1 (800) 363-3555.

I would check with the local FFL holder who would do your transfer if its Illegal it could be bad for him so he should know the law

Hi William, Yes it is.

This has been classified as a "Non NFA Short Barreled Shotgun" by the ATF. mossberg.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Shockwave-Letter-from-ATF-3-2-17.pdf

Hi Joshua, It is considered a pistol in CA, NY, NJ, MA, or OH

There are exactly 565 in stock at the present moment John.

All firearms that are out of stock will show out of stock instead of "add to cart"

Its in stock!

This package includes owners manual, warranty registration card, cable lock and Mossberg sticker. youtube.com/watch?v=fdigY2q_sOk

Brandon, it comes in a cardboard box owners manual, warranty registration card, cable lock.

Buds will ship it there, you just have to find an FFL locally that will accept it.

buy from Buds

Jason, there is absolutely no NC Law on the books that preclude this firearm. This is simply a lack of understanding of NC laws. You should get a clear answer from your Chief Law Enforcement Officer or local Sheriff.

No because of the short barrel. It's considered a pistol in NY

no sorry

No. even though the overall length is OK, NY law has a problem with the barrel length.

This layaway is for Team Bud's members only. It is the 90-day layaway and you must put 20% down. Here is how. Add it to your cart and proceed to checkout as if you are paying for it now. When you get to the payment page there will be a 90-day layaway option. Select that option and Complete the checkout out process. "Once Complete," go to the top of the web page and select "order status." This will bring up your order number and amount which will have three red buttons to the right. Select the first button, "payment." This takes you to the page where you make the 20% minimum down payment with bank funds transfer (routing/account numbers required) or credit card. The Order Is NOT Complete Until The Down Payment Is Made. This means the item is NOT pulled from inventory nor is the price guaranteed until payment is made. After the down payment you may pay at your discretion (using same payment options, steps) as long as you pay in full within 90 days. This is all explained in popup windows as you complete the process.

team buds members only place item in cart. go to checkout. select FFL to be shipped to (can select or change later) continue to payment select Layaway. Pay the 20% needed to remove gun from inventory (gun price $389.00 20% down payment cash $77.80 Credit $80.14). You can pay for the gun with a mixture of cash and credit and you will get the cash price on the amount you pay with cash or e-checks the portion that you pay with credit card/debit card will have a 3% charge added. Some Items can be placed on a 180 day layaway but most have a 90 day lay away

Yes, but currently for Team Buds Members. You can look at the perks and make a decision if it's worth it to you here : budsgunshop.com/catalog/teambuds.php

You nailed it. Quite similar guns. Both drilled and tapped, both have dual extractors, both 6rds chambered in 3". Its all size differences in dimensions really.

Hi Joshua, basically just the handle(Pistol grip) and door buster muzzle attachment on the 54125. Other specs are identical.

The ones here at Buds are the plain black straps Kevin.

My father got the exact gun from Buds, his has no golden letters or elaborate strap. Not sure if Mossberg did this at some point or if you found a nice added feature by the seller. But I can confirm not all came or come like yours.

Hi Adam, I feel your pain. These are unfortunately so "in demand" I believe some are even being drop shipped from the nearest Buds distributor. Which may explain the seemingly screwed up receptions by various folks.

My father had to wait 3weeks for his Shockwave after reserving it. Once it goes to shipping, should be two days from there. Others have had to wait 3 months after the reserve date on this gun. My dad got his like a month and a half ago I think.

Average time is 5 business days. You should have gotten a tracking number so you could go to the UPS/FedEx/USPS websites to manually setup progress notifications to be emailed to you.

Strange as the Shockwave is explicitly banned by Ohio State Gun Law statutes. Go figure...

Nope.

It is prohibited in New Jersey as a "Destructive Device"

**We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, NY, NJ, MA, or OH***

He can buy one.

Yes you can. Here is the information. Bud's Item Number: 23322 UPC: 015813506595 MFG: Mossberg & SonsBud's Item Number: 23322 UPC: 015813506595 MFG: Mossberg & Sons

Yes

Not at this time. Maybe in the future.

Tracy is right looks like Texas is a no go after some reading https://blog.uslawshield.com/tag/mossberg-shockwave/

No. Texas law doesn't allow for non nfa shotguns with a barrel shorter than 18", no matter the overall length. If you found this answer helpful, please mark it as the "Best Answer". Thank you.

James nailed it. The only option for OH is to get an 18" barrel version with a pistol grip. On the bright side, you will get two more rounds in there, and 50 state compliance. If you found this answer helpful, please mark it as the "Best Answer". Thank you.

2923.11(F) of the Ohio Revised Code provides: "(F) Sawed-off firearm means a shotgun with a barrel less than eighteen inches long, or a rifle with a barrel less than sixteen inches long, or a shotgun or rifle less than twenty-six inches long overall." Emphasis added. The Mossberg Shockwave has a barrel length of 14". Accordingly, with a barrel of less than 16" long, it is considered a "Sawed-off firearm" under Ohio Law. In Ohio, there is no barrel length exception, even with an overall length of 26” or greater.

I ordered mine from Bud's and received it two weeks ago. It took exactly 2 months from the order date. Haven't had a chance to go to the range yet, but the gun is put together and finished very well. Smooth action and a nice trigger.

This is based on review history. Some wait less, some longer. But 3 weeks to 2months is the average window. Info from customer help tab: You can reserve this item and lock in the current advertised price and your position in line to receive the item from the next available shipment, no guarantee on the wait time but after 90 days,and you no longer wish to wait. you can request a full refund.

Generally 3weeks to 2months is the average wait time. This is based on personal experience and review history. Some wait less, some longer. But 3weeks to 2months is the average window.

The best way to get one is to either add the gun to your wishlist and then once they are back in stock you will be notified or the best way is to login and reserve the item., By doing this it means that your name is already on the list of orders when they receive them back in stock, which means you don't have to login to order it when you receive the email it is already done. Hope this helps

Add to your wish list to be notified when available for purchase.

You can reserve this item and lock in the current advertised price and your position in line to receive the item from the next available shipment, no guarantee on the wait time but after 90 days,and you no longer wish to wait. you can request a full refund.

My father had to wait 6weeks. Some have had to wait 3months, others 3weeks. So its a guessing game. My Dad got his last week after waiting 6weeks.

You can reserve this item and lock in the current advertised price and your position in line to receive the item from the next available shipment, no guarantee on the wait time but after 90 days,and you no longer wish to wait. you can request a full refund. Or you can add it to your wish list and receive a e-mail when it is back in stock. The sales staff cannot forecast the price or availability of wish list items. Calls or e-mails about this item will not receive a response

This is a very popular item and I would add it to your wishlist so you get notified the second it is back in stock via email. Also, being a Team Buds member helps get you an exclusive on hard to find and guns that are low in stock (so that would likely help when they do get back in). These are nice and a new gun so it's hard to keep in stock

Recent reviews from this month. So I'd imagine it will be available before to long. Its worth adding to the wish list. Some had two wait 3months, others 3 weeks. You can call 1-859-368-0371 for a more accurate ship date.

Hi, Michael, this is almost impossible to answer. This will depend strictly on availability from the supplier/manufacturer.

I am not an employee, and this may not be of much help. But I heard recently a guy just got his after a 3 week wait. This is just an idea of wait time from one reviewer. But contacting them directly at 1-859-368-0371 would give you a more accurate time frame.

I also have received conflicting answers to your Question ( wondering if you live near HP) I did contact the ATF of NC office and of Corse it is all legal with them . I also contacted the NC attorney generals office and so far It is good with them , I plan to call the NC state police But I am convinced that good ole NC will let me own one so own one I will ,

I would contact my local FFL first. Classified as fully-compliant by Federal BATFE, this model requires no Tax Stamp for transfers, where permitted. North Carolina law also bans shotguns with a barrel length of less than 18 inches or an overall length of 26 inches. Hope this helps

Its not legal in California as it is. Major alterations will need to be made to make this legal in California without a permit.

This shotgun is NOT on the California compliant list.

This might provide some clarification for Ohio shooters from the Buckeye Firearms Association. buckeyefirearms.org/mossberg-590-shockwave-legal-ohio

Kim B I was told that this firearm does not violate that Code since the ATF has classified it as a Firearm. It comes from the factory with never having a buttstock so it is not a shotgun and it is longer then 26 inches. That is what I found out after speaking to the Ohio Attorney Generals office who then referred me to the ATF. Oh I called my local sheriff first who referred me to the AG's office in the first place. I placed several calls so I'm not sure why Buds is not shipping to Ohio I put in a question and have not received a response yet from Buds

Ohio revised Code: 2923.11 Weapons control definitions. "Sawed-off firearm" means a shotgun with a barrel less than eighteen inches long, or a rifle with a barrel less than sixteen inches long, or a shotgun or rifle less than twenty-six inches long overall.

CEASAR, This firearm is legal to purchase and have shipped to an FFL n Philadelphia for transfer to the buyer. This firearm will ship as pictured. Together not in pieces. Not aware of many firearms that are shipped in pieces.

Ceasar, this ships as a whole firearm Sir and will ship to Philadelphia. ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, or MA***

Severino, yes it is legal in Idaho. ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, or MA***

Mauricio, yes Sir the Shockwave is perfectly legal to purchase/own in the State of NC. You can lawfully possess or own the Mossberg 590 as it falls within the exception of N.C.G.S. § 14-288.8(b)(5) and its possession alone would not constitute a crime in the State of North Carolina.

Hi Mauricio, Yes this is legal in NC ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, or MA***

Yes, here is the full determination of the NC Attorney General if you'd like to see it: .nssf.org/share/PDF/Schatzman-Sheriff-Mossberg-590-Shockwave.pdf

Hi Ronnie, Yes this is legal in Mississippi buddy ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, or MA***

Ronnie, yes Sir it is absolutely legal in Mississippi. ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, or MA***

Kevin, All Mossberg 500 series pump shotguns have same action.----------Introduced in 1960, all model 500s are based on the same basic concept designed by Carl Benson. Originally using a single action bar that was known to bind and even break, this was changed to dual action bars in 1970, following the expiration of Remington's patent on the double action bar design. A single large locking lug is used to secure the breech. The magazine tube is located below the barrel, and is screwed into the receiver. The slide release is located to the left rear of the trigger guard, and the safety is located on the upper rear of the receiver (often called a "tang safety").

It might be the biggest different factor between 500 and 590 that you should consider carefully. The magazines of model 500 are closed at the muzzle end, and it is held in place by bolting into the threaded hole at the end point of the magazine tube. However, the 590’s magazine is designed to be opened at the muzzle end. Besides, the barrels fit around the magazine tube and held on by the cap nut at the end point. Especially, the 590 magazine setups are easy to clean and remove, as removing the nut allows removal of magazine spring and followers as well.

Kevin, the 500 & 590 are the same "Action" Sir. Great details reviewed here : https://rifleshooter.com/2017/09/remington-870-v-mossberg-500-v-mossberg-590-comparative-design-notes/

Yes this is perfectly legal in MN. Thank you budsgunshop.com/catalog/feeds/state_reg/minnesota_restrictions.pdf

Hi Leonaldo, Yes this is perfectly legal in FL ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, or MA***

Leonaldo, yes Sir. There are no current restrictions in FL. ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, or MA***

Hi Tony, It would have to ship to an FFL. Federal Law requires this be transferred from a Class III FFL Dealer.

Tony, by Federal Law and the classification as a "Firearm" this firearm must ship to and be transferred fron an Class III FFL Dealer.

it must be shipped to a FFL it is a firearm and all firearms must go to a FFL for transfer

DAvid, Here is a set of sling swivels. $13 and free shipping.--------budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/44429/u+mike%27s+mag+cap%2fswivel+set+m500+12g

David - if it doesn't come with a sling, then it would be very easy to purchase adn install an adapter of your preferred style.

David, yes you can for th models that don\'t come with the sling swivels. gggaz.com/mossberg-shockwave-quick-detach-rear-sling-attachment.html

Michael - You bet it is! But since it is classified by ATF as a 'firearm' the minimum purchase age is 21. "Get ya One!"

Michael, yes Sir, this firearm is PA legal for purchase and ownership.

yes it is legal in PA but it is not classified as a shotgun and you must be 21 to purchase ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, or MA***

Hi Joshua, Yes it sure is buddy. This is NY legal. We just don't ship to CA or MA.

Joshua, yes Sir it is legal in NY. ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, or MA***

according to the ATF it is neither a shotgun or a pistol but is classified as a "firearm"

Yes

Jose - the ATF says this is neither a pistol, or a rifle, or a shotgun. It is a 'firearm', and as such, is not subject to the barrel or overall length requirements of a 'shotgun'. Check for local/state restrictions before you order, as some states/localities have passed rules against these firearms.

Frank - if you're over 21, then you can legally order this for shipment to your FFL in Connecticut. The ATF have classified this as a 'firearm' .. but not a shotgun. Hence, the shorter barrel is legal.

Frank, yes Sir, it is legal for purchase/ownership in CT.

sorry federal law say 21 to own the shockwave and others like it

Quincy - Quite sure you will not be covered under any 'concealed carry permit' provisions .. since this isn't exactly concealable on your person. You really need to find a knowledgeable concealed carry instructor to help you wade through all this .. The cops, while they will tell you something, probably don't really know the actual details of the laws. The vast majority do not. A good concealed carry instructor would know, as it is their business to know. I don't believe you can buy it until you are 21. However, I believe you could legally possess it, should someone (a private individual) loan or give you one, at age 18 or above. Just double check - you are responsible to make sure you are within the law.

Quincy, no Sir. The minimal age for purchase is 21 since it is classified as a "Firearm" and not a long gun so it follows the same laws as a Pistol for purchase. I would talk to your local Police or Sheriff on your specific carry for accuracy laws since they enforce them.

Richard - I imagine it will be changed to general availability as soon as a new supply comes in. This points out yet another benefit to belonging to "Team Buds". Not only would you get access to several firearms not available to the general public, but if you use the layaway feature, you can possibly save nearly the cost of membership in one transaction.

when the stock numbers get higher it will be available to everyone if you planned to put it on a layaway please think about becoming a team buds member 90 day layaway will cost you $25.00 team buds membership with FREE layaways $29.95 or $4.95 more

Richard, usually when restocked in sufficient numbers according to Buds. You can ask Buds when that may be at 1-859-368-0371 9am-9pm EST Mon-Fri. or use the Blue Chat now button at the bottom right corner 9am to 9pm Mon - Sat and 9am to 7pm Sunday.

Legal in OH as of 03/28/19. I live in OH. Ordered mine yesterday. It has already shipped and should be at my FFL by early next week.

Randy - Maybe you can ... Perhaps Buds just hasn't gotten around to changing the listing yet. Just give them a call, and be prepared to order (have FFL information and payment information ready when you call). I'm sure they wil get everything worked out as soon as possible.

Randy, you will need to contact Buds directly to see what's going on on ordering at 1-859-368-0371 9am-9pm EST Mon-Fri. or use the Blue Chat now button at the bottom right corner 9am to 9pm Mon - Sat and 9am to 7pm Sunday.

Akin - I believe you are good to go with this one! Get that order in!

Akin, yes Sir. This is perfectly legal in NY City. ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, MA, or OH***

Theodore Christopher, Sorry about the attempt at humor in my first answer. The only time I saw anything like white sand on my new firearm was when a silica pack that they put in to keep humidity out broke. The little dry pouches they put in packaging may have broken some how. Check and see if you find a empty silica gel pack broke in your packaging.

Theodore, you should just do a regular clean/lube and if everything is kosher, no worries. If the action is still rough afterwards, I would contact both Buds and Mossberg for advice on resolution.

Buds does not open the boxes so how it came was the way Mossberg sent it out from Buds "Many new firearms are test fired at the factory. You may notice residual powder, rotation marks on revolver cylinders, residual cosmoline which sometimes appears to look like rust, etc. All firearms sold as "new" are in fact new in box as received from the manufacturer or distributor and include new manufacturers warranty....no exceptions."

Ramon, Get your LE paperwork in to BUDs and this firearm can be shipped to LE personal in CA. Only allowed in CA 2 ways. (1) for the movie industry or (2) Government or Law Enforcement per California State statute {PC33300(b)(1)} So LE can purchase this in CA

Maybe as it is neither a handgun or a assault rifle the following exemption may not apply CA says " Law Enforcement (including federal) can purchase non-compliant ARs and so-called “assault pistols” as long as the firearm is being used for duty use only. Department letterhead required and must ship to a dealer with an “assault weapon” permit. " Please Contact Buds customer service (859) 368-0371 available 9AM to 9PM CST Monday through Friday or use the blue chat now button and they will help you We are not buds employees we are volunteers that answer questions

Ramon, yes, just contact Buds who will acquire your required credentials and you will be set at 1-859-368-0371 9am-9pm EST Mon-Fri. or use the Blue Chat now button at the bottom right corner 9am to 9pm Mon - Sat and 9am to 7pm Sunday.

this firearm is Federal law approved, no restrictions in NC!!

This is an Federal NFA exempt firearm. No problem in NC.

Darian, yes Sir. NC has no restrictions on the Shockwave, TAC-14 or similar firearms. I live in NC and own two, no issues whatsoever.

Joe, this firearm is completely legal in Wisconsin Sir. ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, MA, or OH***

Joe, this SHOULD be legal in Wisconsin but if you have any doubts I would highly recommend you consult with the proper law enforcement authority on the matter to be sure. Assuming there are no Wisconsin-specific restrictions you should be able to purchase this as you would any other firearm. The ATF does not view this as an AOW or SBS, rather it is a "firearm" due to specific design considerations by Mossberg to work around potential ATF no-nos. In any case, it is not subject to NFA paperwork or tax stamps.

it is reserved for team buds members right now your choices are to become a team buds member or to go to a different model like Trevor D linked or to join team Buds Joining team buds would be my choice if you are going to put it on layaway because layaways cost $25.00 for a 90 day layaway but team buds gets free layaways and Costs $29.95 for the 1st year $24.95 if you renew budsgunshop.com/catalog/teambuds.php

You will have to become a team Buds member to purchase this one

Chris, that particular gun is only available to people with an active Team Buds' subscription. When searching all the results that are available will have Add to Cart below their picture in search results and on the right side of the page when you click on a gun. If you don't have this option it is either Team Buds' only or currently out of stock. I would recommend searching for other similar models, there are several models available with minor differences. A few links, an FDE colored version: budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/49157/mossberg+590+shockwave+12ga+5%2b1+fde A detachable magazine version: budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/105678/mossberg+590m+shockwave+12ga+mag+fed+10%2b1 Hope this helps!

Brendan, the same as a handgun Sir. You must be a minimum of 21 years of age to purchase.

it is classified as a firearm and you must be 21 to purchase

Must be 21 Berndan. This is the same requirement as a pistol

According to ATF it is simply a “firearm”. Check out ATF’s letter to Mossberg. mossberg.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Shockwave-Letter-from-ATF-3-2-17.pdf

The Shockwave is considered a firearm.

Hi Cliff - due to the fact this was not designed for, and never had a shoulder stock attached, it is in that "never never land" category of just being a "firearm". 21 yrs minimum to purchase. And the NC guys say no permit required. Very popular item these days.

Joseph, no. The shockwave is not classified as a "Shotgun" but a firearm and carries virtually the same rules as a handgun, which you cannot purchase across State lines. Only Long guns can legally be purchased across state lines.

According to the legal opinion I read, possession of his firearm in Ohio would be considered illegal .. even though federal law says it is legal to manufacture and purchase and possess. That being the case, if you could buy it in an adjacent state .. it could subject you to legal problems once you take it back into Ohio. The burden is placed on the owner to maintain compliance with firearm laws. If you can;t buy it in Ohio, then that;s a very good indication it is illegal in Ohio - regardless of federal law. This was copied from the Buckeye firearms.org web site: "According to our legal analysis, the Shockwave 590 is banned in Ohio. It is NOT legal. We don't like it any more than you do. And of course, this ban won't stop any crimes or make anyone safer. But for the moment, that's the way it is."

I fought and ask for this Approx a year to a year an a half ago- Praise the Lord Jesus Gov Mike Dewine Signed this into Law effective Immediately over- riding or correcting the Language on the Law that they the State of Ohio had or needed to correct. Yes they the Mossberg Shockwave and Remington Tac 14 can and will be allowed to be legal to be had or owned by Folks living Here in Ohio on this coming March 28 2019. Again Thanks Govenor Mike Dewine. Again I Praise the Lord in all things both Good and Bad...

Will be officially legal to ship to Ohio on March 28th 2019

Local gun shop is selling them here in OH they said they are legal state followed ATF reg.

David, 1 round in chamber, 5 in the tube magazine for 5+1, 6 total

David, this firearm has a 5 Round tube Magazine and if you rack one in the chamber and top off the tube magazine with another round, you get 6 shots fully loaded capacity.

5+1

It fell overboard in a fishing accident.

It would depend on who was in charge of the government at that time (including Judges) they could be "grandfathered" in as legal or you could be ordered to turn them in. that is why voting is important

James, similar has happened and current owners may have their Shockwaves "Grand Fathered" in similar to Pre-Ban weapons of years past. We won't know until that bridge is crossed in actuality.

Try with the gun empty and chamber closed/locked (pointed I a safe direction) by pulling the trigger and seeing if the action unlocks to allow you to pump it. If it does be sure that recoil is not causing the pump hand to start the cycle (pump) slightly but then pushing the forearm back forward causing it to lock again if that is not the issue contact Mossberg at (800) 363-3555 ---- mossberg.com/service/

Carl, something does not sound right Sir. You should contact Mossberg Customer Service for a resolution at (800) 363-3555 ---- mossberg.com/service/

I’m pretty sure it is. I’ve seen a video with two small girls shooting paper targets with their dad. Look on YouTube. Shooting the mini shells.

this Remington would be more "lady" friendly as the "semi auto" action will help with the recoil budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/107460/Remington+83392+V3+Tac-13+Semi-Automatic+12Ga+13++5%2B1+Syn

it will really depend on the "female" but in most cases it would not be they have a lot of recoil

Ohio just changed their law by overiding the Governor's Veto. The Shockwave will be legal in 90 days.

yes it is legal in IL and buds will ship it there ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, MA, or OH***

Daniel, yes they will. ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, MA, or OH***

Dylan, yes it is legal. Just keep a copy of the Braces' ATF Compliance Letter with you and you will be fine Sir. Cheers and Happy Holidays!

while it should be legal I don't know of anyone who makes a brace to fit the Mossberg 590 action and I would be very cautious about making ANY modifications to the shockwave or the Remington version as they are such a grey area you could very well find yourself arrested and having to defend those legal mods in a court of law and hoping that the opinion of the jury/judge goes in your favor this article is a example even though he was found not guilty it still cost him thetruthaboutguns.com/2018/11/daniel-zimmerman/atf-suffers-rare-court-loss-in-ohio-short-barrel-rifle-prosecution/

Jason, unloaded weight is 5.25lbs.

5.25lbs empty

it will ship to the local FFL (may be a gun store) that you select he does the paperwork and charges you a transfer fee which is normally $15.00- $40.00 this fee is up to the FFL not buds you leave his store with you gun

Hi David, this will ship directly to a local FFL dealer of your choice (based on Zip Code of your address) for transfer to you. You will fill out the necessary paperwork and pay the transfer fee usually $25 to $30 and the dealer does the background check and once approved, gives you your new firearm.

the best way is to purchase Gift cards and have him order the gun in his name

Talisa, he would have to be the purchaser. You could also just find the firearm you want to purchase him at Buds and buy the equivalent "Gift Card" amount and he can complete the purchase without issue.

I finally got an answer at my local sheriff’s dept. If I carry it in my vehicle just covered up behind my front seat of my van, then anyone sitting in that 2nd row of seats must have a cwp since they would have open access to the gun. I’m legal to carry it anywhere in my vehicle as long as all others in the vehicle have their cwp. So I guess I won’t be carrying it in the car after all, unless I’m by myself or with my husband since both of us are cwp holders. Thanks to all who offered advice and suggestions.

yes it is legal in NJ but as it is NOT classified as a shotgun you must be 21 to purchase "*We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, MA, or OH ****

Frank, yes, the Shockwave is legal in NJ. ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, MA, or OH***

as NY city laws are so different I would call a local FFL and get his advice. If the FFL will not handle the transaction then you are out of luck.

Arthur, this is perfectly legal in NY. ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, MA, or OH***

I was at a gun show near Youngstown Ohio ,this weekend . Saw shockwaves for sale .I asked the same question , you can have but do not shoot . This is what the man told me

The Mossberg Shockwave has a barrel length of 14". Accordingly, with a barrel of less than 16" long, it is considered a "Sawed-off firearm" under Ohio Law. In Ohio, there is no barrel length exception, even with an overall length of 26” or greater. link buckeyefirearms.org/mossberg-590-shockwave-legal-ohio

Dylan, simple case of State Law overriding Federal Law plain and simple. Details here : buckeyefirearms.org/mossberg-590-shockwave-legal-ohio

Lawrence, I didn't get where your question asked about mini-shells, but could have missed something. May have been asking about Mossberg mini-shell adapter. Only in 12 ga. Mossberg does have the shockwave in 20 ga and also the persuader with a regular pistol grip in 20 ga.

An adapter would not be needed for a break action or pump shotgun to fire the Aguila mini shells Lawrence. I have not heard of nor seen any 20ga Aguila mini Shells by the way.

sorry there is not as far as I know the mini shells are only made in 12 ga

Its a non-NFA item ATF classifies it as a "firearm". Transfers must go through a FFL and the buyer must be 21 or over

It is a non - NFA item Glenn, but is still classified as a "Firearm" so an FFL is still required for transfer to you.

Yes it can ship to NY ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, MA, or OH***

Hi Adrian, Yes it can ship to NY ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, MA, or OH***

It can be shipped to NY state

I would ask my local FFL holder

Jeremy it is legal currently according to (it is not a shotgun with a barrel length of less than 18 inches) : pacificislandmovers.com/pdf/Movement%20of%20Firearms%20through%20Household%20Goods%20-%20Rev%203-19-14.pdf

I would ask my local FFL holder

Hi Brian, Yes, this is legal in MD budsgunshop.com/catalog/feeds/state_reg/maryland_restrictions.pdf

this is legal in MD Brian. ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, MA, or OH***

Yes, this is legal in MD

This firearm is legal in DC, same as MD. It is classified as a firearm by the BATF and is legal for purchase if you are at least 21yrs of age. Of course the final decision will be by your local transferring FFL whether or not they will transfer. Just call to make sure they will. (***Buds is currently not shipping this firearm to CA, MA, or OH***)

I suggest calling the only FFL listed in Buds list CS Exchange 300 INDIANA AVE., NW, ROOM 1140A WASHINGTON, DC 20001 Phone Number: (301) 577-1427

It appears to be legal in DC (DC is not MD laws) however I would check with a local FFl to be sure budsgunshop.com/catalog/feeds/state_reg/washington_dc_restrictions.pdf

yes it is legal in NV however I suggest double checking with a local FFL just to be sure of any recent law changes

yes it is legal in NV however I suggest double checking with a local FFL just to be sure of any recent law changes

You are correct Randy. ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, MA, or OH***

This is an age 21 purchase firearm by Federal Law Jason. mossberg.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/MOSSBERG_590-SHOCKWAVE-PUMP-ACTION.pdf

Aron you must be 21 years old. The Mossberg Shockwave is a firearm, not a long gun. Federal Law requires purchasers of firearms to be 21 years of age. Question 3 here : mossberg.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/MOSSBERG_590-SHOCKWAVE-PUMP-ACTION.pdf

I was incorrect it is 21 to buy. From the Mossberg page "The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives has confirmed the 590 Shockwave as a “firearm” per the Gun Control Act (GCA), but not a Class 3/NFA firearm. Click here to read a copy of the letter from the BATFE regarding federal classification of the Shockwave, dated 3/2/2017). NOTE: This letter only speaks to its FEDERAL status. There could be local/state laws that prohibit the sale of this gun in your state. Consult your State Police for clarification. Just as with any other pistol grip firearm, the buyer must be *****21 years of age, and be a resident of the state where s/he is purchasing it".
